Lan Rig (BF4)

Hey guys, 

 

I'm planning on building a "Lan Rig" and have listed some parts below for the build. Right now the products are going to cost me roughly 1200$ US. I pretty much want this rig to run BF4 with high fps and to run smoothly on low to medium settings. 

I already have a GPU for this build (MSI GTX670 Power Edition) and I also have a 1TB WD Black for it as-well hence these two parts are not in the build below. I want to base this build around the Cosmos SE so please don't advice me on another case as I saw this case over the weekend and it gave me a semi :P. 

- Please can you advice me on any cheaper parts that give out the same performance for the items below.
- Whether all the parts are compatible with one another.
- If I'm missing anything out.
- Or any other recommendations.

 

Case: Cooler Master Cosmos SE
Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119285

RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB (2 X 4GB)
Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233527

 

CPU: Intel i5-3570k 
Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504

 

Motherboard: Asus Maximus V Gene
Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131830

PSU: Corsair HX750 Gold

Cheers 
Eddyyz!

Get an 8350 for that cpu and either a sabertooth 990fx or an m5a97 pro. That will benefit you greatly in bf4.

I'd wait until final release because some things are unclear for now. ATM AMD 8-cores perform better than i5s in BF4. This might be fixed in final release.

This is what I'd get:

But as far as you want to build it in that ugly Cosmos, here is a slight edit:

Its honestly not that big, I own a 900D atm and that is a mission to even lift up.

 

You ain't goin' anywhere with that case.

I own a 900D and the Cosmos SE is really not that big.
